Intestinal inflammation and the related gut microbiome dysbiosis are becoming prevalent worldwide. Overgrowth of Enterobacteriaceae exacerbates intestinal inflammation and gut microbiome dysbiosis. Enterobacteriaceae secrets siderophore to acquire iron and survive in the iron-limited gut. Therefo...

Proteus mirabilis is a primary cause of complicated urinary tract infections (UTI). Surprisingly, iron acquisition systems have been poorly characterized in this uropathogen despite the urinary tract being iron-limited. In this report the transcriptome of strain HI4320, cultured under iron limitat...

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. Here, we identify spermine—a polyamine derived from spermidine—as an endogenous iron chelator that directly suppresses ferroptosis. Integrating metabolomics, stable isotope tracing, and biophysical studies of the in...

Iron is an essential element for several cellular processes and recent evidence highlighted its role in regulating the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). When in excess it reduces quiescence and self-renewal, however, whether and how iron influences HSC metabolism is still unknown. Here, w...

Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous airborne fungal pathogen that presents a life-threatening health risk to individuals with weakened immune systems. A. fumigatus pathogenicity depends on its ability to acquire iron from the host and to resist host-generated oxidative stress. Gaining a deeper und...

Pathogenic bacteria's metabolic adaptation for survival and proliferation within hosts is a crucial aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that citrate, the first intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plays a key role as a regulator of gene expression in Staphylococc...

Background: Host iron deficiency is protective against severe malaria as the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depends on free iron from its host to proliferate. Due to the absence of transferrin, ferritin, ferroportin, and a functional heme oxygenase, the parasite’s essential pathways of...

Time-series transcriptional profiles of Shewanella oneidensis type strain MR-1 under iron depletion and repletion conditions. Iron homeostasis of Shewanella oneidensis, a gamma-proteobacterium possessing high iron content, is regulated by a global transcription factor Fur. However, knowledge is inco...

We investigated the gene expression responses of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique cultures to iron limitation. Differential expression was observed for genes in iron acquisition and incorporation operons. SfuC in particular was 16 times higher in iron-limited cultures and encodes a periplasmic iron-bi...

A. baumannii ATCC 17978 cells were incubated under iron replete (mueller-hinton) and iron limiting (MH + 200 µM 2,2'-dipyridyl) conditions, total RNA was extracted when cultures reached OD600=0.7. The probes on the microarray cover all predicted open reading frames (at least 4 per ORF) and addition...
